#note Whangarei Round 4
>Val_Mills: RVW H6 VR.W +10 10
#note I think Val said after the game she had no vowels here, in-game I figured she kept a strong bingo rack with this.
>Chris_Tallman: DIKLORS 9H .ILD +19 41
#note Spent a while here (great time management :( ) as no good options presented themselves - didn't like scoring spot for 5's to the triple this opened, but didn't like scoring only 13 with VOLK either.
>Val_Mills: BDEST 10D DEBTS +25 35
#note She played this instantly, so I inferred another S.
>Chris_Tallman: EKNORRS L3 KRONERS +83 124
#note I had an inkling that KRONER (Austrian currency) was already plural, but decided to play this confidently and quickly, no hold.
>Val_Mills: BRV E9 V.RB +18 53
>Chris_Tallman: FGIJMSU K5 GUM +24 148
#note I have the straightforward FUJIS/VERBS for 40, but I decide to set my J up with JUN and hope for an A draw to cash it. This keeps the S and really helps to shut down the top left quadrant, with the V's already obstructing access to it. Also saw MUJIKS for 40, but that opens that quadrant, which I don't need to do with my lead.
>Val_Mills: AQST 13B QATS +36 89
>Chris_Tallman: FIJLS 14A FIL +36 184
#note Partial rack, sorry! Didn't like opening the triple line, but didn't want to let Val do it while scoring 40 in the process. Still fishing for that A.
>Val_Mills: AEI 3L .AIE +16 105
#note Good thematically to open another threat - doesn't work out for Val this time.
>Chris_Tallman: JRSTZ O1 TR.Z +69 253
#note Partial rack :(
>Val_Mills: ?AEIILT 15C LAITIEs +74 179
>Chris_Tallman: EEJLNOS J2 JOLE +31 284
#note Maybe should've played JOR top right to avoid hte bingo line to the L in JOLE - maybe since she just played the blank I wanted to draw a few more.
>Val_Mills: DII 6F DI.I +12 191
>Chris_Tallman: AADENNS 12D A.AND +24 308
#note Scoring felt more important than trying to block her lines to maintain my more than bingo lead.
>Val_Mills: COOP 5C POCO +19 210
#note COOP there would set up SCOOP, not sure what her other tiles were though.
>Chris_Tallman: AENSTUW 14G AW +12 320
#note I decide to block one of the lines so she can't bingo twice - SUPAWN (30) through the P in POCO would've been nice to just keep scoring - if I knew it.
>Val_Mills: AANN 7C NANA +9 219
>Chris_Tallman: EEHNSTU 8A HUE +20 340
#note Didn't want to open the 3 line with UH on top of POCO, and wanted to obstruct the scoring spot under NANA - thought the H was pretty safe...
>Val_Mills: INU 8L .UIN +12 231
>Chris_Tallman: EENOSTY N7 T.NY +15 355
#note Should just play something like OYE/PENE, bit too more paranoid defense, trying to cut down on it as it's cut down on my spread in the past.
>Val_Mills: ?ACEGMR A2 GRAMoC.E +66 297
>Val_Mills: EEFHOUY (challenge) +5 302
#note Really nice find by Val, didn't know it.
>Chris_Tallman: EEIOOST O10 OTIOSE +26 381
#note Saw the F, H, P, Y in the bag, figured I didn't need to block the bingo lines at the top.
>Val_Mills: EEFHOUY N13 HEY +32 334
>Chris_Tallman: EEP C2 PEE. +16 397
>Chris_Tallman: (EFOU) +14 411
